Name: Brise - Dunes
Brand: Lelievre
SKU: 1307-02

Brise - Dunes presents a quiet taupe surface with a cool mauve undertone, giving the colour a softer, more atmospheric character than a straightforward beige. Fine vertical ribbing adds delicate movement without introducing a strong pattern.

About this fabric

Brise - Dunes is catalogued as a Fabric in Lelievre’s Métamorphose collection; no composition, width or rub-test data has been supplied for this listing. In the swatch, muted taupe is tempered by a cool mauve cast rather than reading as warm sandy beige. Closely spaced vertical lines form a restrained ribbed texture, with subtle tonal variation across the surface. Its fine, lightweight-looking construction reads as particularly well suited to drapery rather than hard-wearing upholstery.

How to use it

Use this mauve-tinged taupe for full-length curtains where its fine vertical texture can add quiet height and softness. Pair it with chalky neutrals, pale timber and cooler stone shades to preserve its calm, understated mood.

A fine, softly ribbed taupe-mauve textile suited to understated curtains and relaxed tonal schemes.

Pairs well with

Brise - Dunes is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
